Cincinnati Asian Food Festival Announces Dates, Record Number of Vendors

Cincinnati’s Asian Food Fest has announced a record-breaking lineup of food vendors for its 2023 festival.

In its 12th year, Cincinnati Asian Food Fest will feature a record 39 restaurants and food trucks. The festival’s “Secret Menu” will expand to 10, making for a total of 49 food vendors representing 15 countries.

Cincinnati Asian Food Fest is the largest celebration of Asian food and culture in the region, produced by the Cincinnati USA Regional Chamber in partnership with the Asian American Cultural Association of Cincinnati.

“Asian Food Fest is becoming known as a cultural destination,” said Rob Weidle, lead event manager for Asian Food Fest. “We are seeing attendees from across the country come to the Cincinnati region to indulge in some amazing food and experience this one-of-a-kind event.”

The outdoor festival will be held Saturday, April 29 from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. and Sunday, April 30, from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. in downtown’s Court Street Plaza.

Vendors will be offering their food as small plates priced from $2 – $10, so guests can sample loads of flavors from different countries without filling up too fast. Attendees can also expect live music, local craft and Asian beer, family-friendly activities and more.
